Why Give to Humanities Montana

For a great overview of Humanities Montana, our mission and vision, watch the short video, How the Humanities Power Imagination and Build Community, narrated by William Marcus (board chair 2011-12).

Humanities Montana is the only statewide organization dedicated to meeting these vital needs:

• Demonstrating the importance of humanities in everyday life. This organization has the unique mission of infusing Montana communities with public humanities programs of high quality. These programs show the value of humanistic studies such as literature, history, Native American Studies, philosophy, and more. They encourage Montanans to learn and reflect together.
• Bringing Montanans together to promote community vitality. As a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization with a 42-year commitment to public affairs programs, Humanities Montana is uniquely positioned to promote community vitality through hosting and funding civil and civic gatherings.
• Exploring where we have been, where we are, and where we are going. Montana matters! Humanities Montana is ideally situated to encourage Montanans to share and learn more about their past, present, and future. We provide programs and grants exploring our state’s story.

For over forty years we've been providing programs for Montanans. Download our annual report to read testimonials to our impact.

Help us serve more communities—more children, more teachers, more parents, more leaders. Last year we saw dramatic increases in applications for grants and programs. Help us answer that need.
